At first, owner Robb Klaty said he had planned on doing a series of regional tap takeovers, featuring different areas of the state known for brewing beer. The barbecue and beer joint has 30 beers on tap — too much, he figured, for one brewery to come in and take the place over.

That was until he called the breweries. He’ll still be doing a Grand Rapids-based tap takeover, featuring Perrin Brewing Co., Brewery Vivant and Founders Brewery Sept. 12.

But two Michigan breweries (Table and Tap specializes in Michigan beers) stepped up to the plate and said they'd be able to use all 30 taps.

On Oct. 3, Kuhnhenn Brewing Co., based in Warren will take the place over. On Nov. 7, it will be the Belle Aire-based Short’s Brewery. All events start at 5 p.m.

Klaty said that while Kuhnhenn and Short’s might not always have 30 beers they’re distributing, they’ve got a lot of stuff that’s been sitting in kegs that needs drinking. A lot of it, he said, might have been limited releases from long ago or short-lived experiments, or seasonal brews now out of season but still cold and ready to drink.

That, he said, can make for an interesting night of tasting.
